• the reason for putting ground / ATIS on com 2 and tower on com 1 is so that we will essentially always do a radio check for both coms before takeoff
• don't forget to check transponder (1200)

• review Bold Method: Class G airspace information

• review Weather information
• review VFR Weather Minimums Quizlet
• review V Speeds Quizlet

• don't forget about nav lights these are required from sunset to sunrise
• Verify all airspace along your route
  • we almost busted the Bravo
  • this is something that cannot happen
• always pre brief how you're going to enter into the pattern at any airport you're planning on going to
• good job troubleshooting frequencies
• nice job with VOR navigation
  • remember, when headed TO the vor, set the reciprocal radial and look for the TO fla
  • when headed away FROM the vor, set the radial you're on and look for the FROM flag
  • always verify the identifier

• double check that oil temperature has risen above 100 degrees before beginning run up
• steep turns
  • good job
  • add power a little bit earlier
• cancelled the solo portion because of increasing crosswind component

• be prepared to use landmarks for navigation around the airport area in case you get strange instructions from the tower
• good job staying on your heading and identifying waypoints along your route
• be prepared to write in your navlog
  • it can be a lot when you're trying to fly the airplane at the same time
  • this is something that you can practice easily in the ground trainer
• GREAT DECISION TO GO AROUND
• good decision to change your altitude when there were clouds that wouldn't allow you to maintain VFR

• short and soft field practice at X23
  • KORL - X23 - KORL
• teardrop entry
  • nice job making radio calls throughout
  • distance extending out was great and allowed for entry into normal downwind
  • good job with descending turn
• short field takeoffs
  • great job using maximum available space
  • set crosswind correction when entering runway
  • good job holding obstacle barrier speed
• short field landings
  • speeds were great
  • be more aggressive with adding brakes
  • bring flaps up immediately after touchdown
• soft field takeoff
  • good job not using brakes on runway
  • hold more elevator back pressure during the takeoff roll nose should be a little bit higher
  • be more aggressive with forward pressure after rotation to stay in ground effect
    • this will allow for additional safety if we encounter wind shear
    • airspeed is low so exiting ground effect early could cause a stall
• soft field landings
  • good job with airspeeds
  • continue to hold back elevator until the elevator stalls
  • don't use brakes
• good job navigating
• GREAT JOB WITH RADIO CALLS!!
• autopilot notes
  • be extra cautious with the autopilot
  • when descending, or in any phase change, pay attention to the flight instruments and remember that you may have to intervene with power changes or disconnecting the autopilot if it does anything you don't expect
• good job navigating
• GREAT JOB WITH RADIO CALLS!!
• autopilot notes
  • be extra cautious with the autopilot
  • when descending, or in any phase change, pay attention to the flight instruments and remember that you may have to intervene with power changes or disconnecting the autopilot if it does anything you don't expect

• takeoff and landing practice
• DON'T forget to bug your altitude
• make sure to test the autopilot before beginning taxi
• watch out for your extended downwind you don't want to get off of your desired track
  • 
  • you can see a few times when we were passing the approach end you tended to follow colonial
• allow the airplane to touch down when it is ready
  • especially with gusting winds, it is important that you hold the proper round out altitude and be gentle with the flare
  • don't flare when you would normally flare, feel the controls and notice when the airplane starts to descent as an indicator of when you should flare
• great job with the decisions to go around
  • pay attention to your flaps and don't forget to retract them because that can cause you to not climb at your desired climb rate
  • you don't need to call the tower immediately, but once the airplane is stabilized let them know you are going around
• continue to work on your radio communications
• great job handling the gusting winds and thermals

• cancelled flight due to high crosswind component (too high for solo flight)
